[css-d] Outlook Web Access hates background images?

Hello, I'm using Microsoft Outlook Web Access to communicate with one of my clients. My role with them includes building out HTML files that are converted to OFT and then sent as company-wide newsletters and invitations. Much to my dismay, when someone sends me an attached HTML file to work with,

[css-d] Inline styles and the people who hate them.

Sorry about the sensationalist subject line. I couldn't resist. For the past six months I've been building a massive, consumer Web application. I took over the development from a guy who was keen on standards-compliant XHTML (yay!) and keeping every style rule in an external CSS document (kinda y

[css-d] Display issue with Firefox

Please take a look at this page in both IE and Firefox: http://www.wexom.com/tests/test1.htm Notice that in IE, the blue/pink containers are touching the empty, bounded container above. Also notice that the grey-banded container(s)-which are all nested in a single parent DIV-are positioned

Re: [css-d] External CSS caching

David, Thanks for the information. I've actually never experienced a problem with this on my test/development environment. But the brainy folks on the engineering team are worried about actual users on the live site caching the CSS docs and missing the latest version when we update. I personal

[css-d] External CSS caching

Normally, the fact that the browser caches the external style sheet benefits the user. But while working on a large, commercial site, the problem of browsers recalling old external CSS from their cache has come up. If the external style sheet has changed, and the browser uses a cached version,

Re: [css-d] Site doesn't work in Firefox

I made the following change to the margin declaration in the style sheet, and it works fine in Firefox (on my machine)... #divcontainer { height: 700px; width: 600px; margin: 10px auto; background-color: #FF; } > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROT

Re: [css-d] Floating divs-problem

Hi Dennis, I've had the same problem in the past. I've just gotten used to the fact that the numbers may add up exactly, but IE is still going to think things are too wide to fit across the page. What I do to work around this problem is just knock one pixel width off of one of the column DIVs.

Re: [css-d] float and vertical positioning

If you want to be even more annoyed, look at what happens if you remove the last two DIVs and end the content with the floated DIV. The bottom border of the content DIV now excludes the floated DIV, as if it wasn't even inside of the content DIV. According to the reading I've done, Firefox is act

Re: [css-d] GRID tag?

Having recently been handed an entire web app that was built with tables, I can feel your pain. I want to be XHTML Strict compliant, and only use TABLEs when I'm displaying tabular data, but sometimes converting complicated sets of input fields and labels is a real pain. Not to mention the time i

Re: [css-d] site check please

The top nav looks good in XP IE 6.0 and latest FireFox, but I wanted to mention one thing, from a usability standpoint. The page links are underlined until you mouse over them, and then the underline decoration disappears. This is a bit confusing on pages like http://www.volume4.com/tc/case/index.

[css-d] External CSS for large, design-heavy Web apps

I'm looking for some "best practices" information on setting up external style sheet(s) for a large web site that has highly variable design elements from section to section. Specifically, I am thinking about separating the CSS aspects controlling layout (DIV margins, padding, etc) and display
